Do your front brake rotors have 11 slots?

It's more slots than any other drilled+slotted and I believe the holes are cast in.

Brembo doesn't make them anymore I think, they only make plain, drilled, or slotted now.

Yes you are correct we have new ones available here (not Brembo) that are slotted and dimpled (looks similar with less slots) rather than drilled through.

Thanks just read through the thread.. the brakes do look small with 19's, the car is only used for street duties so the standard ones work fine.  :)
